"Son, you are growing up too. I should tell you some things. In fact, I am not the only one in our family. Your grandfather has three children, and you have an aunt and uncle respectively. Just 21 years ago, your uncle because of He got into a fight with others and entered the police station, but when we went to see him the next day, he was already a corpse. The forensic examination showed a heart attack, but he turned a blind eye to the scars all over his body , At that time, he was just 17 years old like you."

"Then what happened later? What about my grandpa and my aunt?" Stephen seemed to have heard that his grandma passed away early, and that it was his grandpa who raised his father. Stephen didn't feel much sadness about this uncle who had never seen his face, but his heart The sadness was even more serious.

"Because no one is willing to help us, no fellow countrymen's association, no mutual aid association, they are unwilling to reach out when they hear about this. Your grandfather was overly sad and passed away soon. Your aunt went to Los Angeles in a fit of rage. She studied while working part-time. I went to university, became a lawyer, and have been pursuing this matter, but the final result is just a forensic doctor who neglected his duties. In the end, your aunt was disheartened and refused to show up again. I haven't seen your aunt, but a few days ago, someone said that your aunt was inquiring about us, and he told him our contact information, and he may contact us soon."

"Father, why did this happen, and how can it be avoided?" Hearing that a similar thing happened in his own family, Stephen forgot to tell his father what happened later.

"Boy, there are two reasons for this, one is the color of the skin, they are not their kind of people, and most of the judges and jurors are white, and the second is that we are poor, and in most eyes, black people are punks , criminals, drug addicts, and poor ghosts, if you walk on the street in full glory, even if you take the initiative to go to the police, the police will only respond with a smile, because this is a society where money is paramount, as long as you have money, you It is God, no matter what race you are, and no one will discriminate against you."

"Want to be rich? Want to be glamorous?" Stephen understood a little bit, but it was not clear, but there were still things that had to be asked. In order not to worry his father about the research institute, Stephen didn't plan to tell his father, but why? To deal with it, I still have to ask my father: "By the way, father, if you don't want them to track you down, what should you do?"

"Hiding his name and flying far away, what's wrong?" Shi Xiangdong asked strangely.

"Oh, Johnny said that the two policemen might suspect that someone saw them committing the crime, and then tracked us down." Stephen was also worried about the backstage supporters of the institute. In comparison, the threat of the two policemen It's nothing.

"It's quite possible. You don't go out these few days, and don't go to the restaurant to help. Just stay at home and let me see what's going on." Shi Xiangdong's face also became serious, with his younger brother in front of him. He couldn't rest assured that his son was taken into the police station.

Just like that, Stephen stayed at home for three days in a row. Although his father bought an electric motor for his son, it was not an option for such a young man to stay at home all the time. Feeling smashed.

Could it be the sequelae of that powerful potion?Stephen couldn't help but looked around in a daze, could it be that he would eventually develop into a monster that would kill anyone at sight without humanity, but he didn't know who to ask for advice on this matter.

That night, when Stephen's father returned home, he went to the room to discuss with Stephen's mother solemnly, and then came to Stephen's room: "Son, it's really like what you said, two policemen came to the store to inquire About your situation, I said you were recuperating at home, and they left without saying anything. The appearance of the two of them was very consistent with what you described. At the same time, I also asked Johnny. Just two days ago, he had already signed up to join the army. .”

"Ah, then I'll join the army too?" Stephen suddenly thought that he could join the army too. Under the protection of the army, he would not be afraid of the police's investigation, and with his own physical condition, he would be able to play a better role in the army.

"No, our family's immigration procedures are not very formal. Once we strictly review them, we may be prosecuted by the police for forging documents." Stephen's father almost said that they were illegal immigrants, and Stephen knew this. According to their family's information, they immigrated from Mexico, but what their father heard was that they had been in the United States since their grandfather.

"Your aunt called today. She is not in good health, and she has no relatives over there. I hope you can go to take care of her and go through the legal procedures by the way. If something happens to her, those assets will not be cheap. I was planning to listen to your opinion before answering her. Since this happened, you will leave tomorrow. I told your mother that she is crying in the room now. Go comfort her. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Xiangdong's complexion also darkened. He was only such a son. It would be a lie to say that he was willing to let him go away. But otherwise, his son might be in danger. , Mary Nancy agreed.

After reassuring his mother in the middle of the night, he secretly took the [-] dollars that his mother gave him. Only then did Stephen realize that the dollars he took out from the research institute were still in the drawer. He went back to the room and counted them, no more, no less Exactly [-], add up to [-] dollars.

Although he thought of leaving the money to his parents, he didn't know what to do when he got there. Regarding this aunt who had never heard of or seen it, Stephen was a little confused, saying that he wanted to inherit the property. There are still debts that need to be repaid by yourself.

After packing his own belongings into the suitcase, Stephen kissed his mother's face. Under his mother's reluctant eyes, he got into his father's second-hand Ford pickup and drove towards Charlotte International Airport.

On the way, his father changed from his usual inaccessibility, and tirelessly told Stephen about various precautions, as well as his aunt Shi Xianghua's temper, etc. When he walked to a bank, Stephen asked his father to stop the car, and then put his body on his back. The U.S. dollars were deposited into his own account, leaving only a thousand dollars in cash.

After arriving at the airport, his father was busy going through all kinds of formalities for Stephen. After the busy work, Stephen's father was already out of breath. After handing over the ticket and documents to Stephen, Shi Xiangdong patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Are there When you are with your aunt, you must listen to your aunt. If you don’t want to come back, you can play well. If you do well, take your parents and call home when you have time. Your mother only has a child like you, and she will miss you very much. of."

"Dad, will you miss me?" Stephen also felt a strong nostalgia in his heart. Since he was a child, he has never been away from his parents for more than 24 hours. There is only one time, but he has to be separated from his parents.

"I will too. Hurry up and call us when you get there." Stephen's father turned his head and wiped his eyes, then patted Stephen's body heavily as if feeling ashamed, telling Stephen to leave early.

Stephen dragged the suitcase for a long distance, and when he looked back, he could still see his father looking at him. Seeing himself looking back, he beckoned to himself, turned around with great difficulty, and left first.

The plane quickly passed through the land of the United States from east to west, and landed at the Palmdale Regional Airport in Los Angeles. After getting out of the airport, Stephen looked around blankly, seeing the unfamiliar environment around him, and a trace of panic flashed in his heart involuntarily, but thinking of What happened to me soon calmed down.

According to the address given by his father, Stephen called a taxi and drove towards the Malibu neighborhood. As soon as he entered this community, a wave of luxury immediately rushed over his face. All the houses here belong to the villa level, with different styles. My aunt doesn’t live here. This is an obvious rich area. Even according to the housing prices in Charlotte, each house here is more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is said that the housing prices in Los Angeles and New York are the most expensive in the United States. , that should be in the millions.

The car drove non-stop in the community, and it took a long time to find Aunt Stephen's address: No. 103 Lankers Street, Malibu Community. Although the style is a bit old, it is definitely not small. The mansion, Stephen was so surprised that he almost forgot to tip the taxi driver.

The house in front of me has only two floors, but it has a huge basement like most houses in the United States. It is a swimming pool.

It seems that my aunt is doing well. There is such a big house. I touched the top of my head. Stephen smiled. This aunt gave me a shocking feeling. Stephen thought it was just that she was just rich. so rich.

Stephen didn't expect at all that in the window on the second floor, a cold eye had seen him a long time ago, but when he saw Stephen's childish gesture of touching the top of his head, the eyes showed a little warmth.

As soon as Stephen pressed the doorbell, the door opened, and a pale face in black appeared in a flash, and then returned inside. Stephen couldn't help shrinking his neck, with such a cold attitude, thinking that he might have to be with such a An indifferent aunt lived together, and Stephen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When Stephen sat in front of Shi Xianghua's seat, Shi Xianghua's attitude remained unchanged, and he still looked down upon Stephen as if facing a prisoner. Stephen quickly tightened his clothes and looked around again. When I got out of the car, I still felt that the temperature was very high. Why is it so cold now?

Seeing this, a smile flickered on the corner of Shi Xianghua's mouth. She was just used to treating people like this. She wanted to show her closeness to this eldest nephew who had never met, but she had long forgotten about it for decades. How can I express my feelings to people.
